Yeah. They don't even need to be in a row. Maybe in 5 second increments. Or a couple of 10's - I could do something with that gift.
Of course, it won't mean that the things I take a risk on will work out; that I won't fail. And, now that I'm taking the time to think about this crazy 20 seconds, I realize that I would use that time selfishly.
To perform some foolhardy stunt. But not to invite a friend to church.
To speak my mind at work. But not to evangelize.
To tell someone what I really think of them. But not to set aside time to pray.
To say, "I love you." But not to help a stranger in need.
I've already established that, without significant change, I'm a poor steward of my time (see November 19th). Maybe I don't deserve that 20 seconds until I can prove that I would use the other 86,380 seconds a day more wisely.
